Commercial waste collection for Rochester households and businesses
A cathedral city on the Medway with a heavily conservation-controlled High Street, Georgian townhouses and the sprawling Medway City Estate across the river.
Listed Georgian and Victorian properties in the historic core with steep, narrow access, plus 20th-century housing at Borstal and Horsted. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Conservation area restrictions on Rochester High Street make skip placement difficult and slow to permit, so attended loading is usually the only workable route.
Our crews reach Rochester via A2 High Street, M2 junction 2, A228, A289 Medway Tunnel, and we work regularly across Borstal, Wouldham Road, Delce, Horsted, Frindsbury. Commercial waste collection is the scheduled or on-demand removal of waste produced by a business. Businesses cannot use household kerbside collections and must hold a written duty-of-care agreement with a registered carrier.
